    As of tomorrow all normal television watching will be interrupted, most conversation will involve talks of the GC (general classification), tète de la course and the antics of the peloton – are you still with me? That’s right Le Tour de France starts tomorrow and nothing will return to normal in the household until the…

    My 52 weeks challenge is to write about a recent success. It was rather satisfying to discover that I actually had a couple of choices to write about on this topic. I opted for a recent professional success. It seems my manager has more faith in my abilities than I do as she has put…

    Wow these choices are a very loose interpretation of the happy colour this week but how could I resist. Firstly the colour search tools didn’t handle khaki very well at all and the keyword search is evidence that khaki is different for all of us! Having said all that and granting my artistic license, here’s…

    I can fully understand why the spectrum of reds is the choice of so many artisans. It’s so rich and inviting and just a little bit solemn – or maybe that’s just my mood today. It was not too long ago that I couldn’t stand the colour red in any form. That had something to…

    Please humour me while I ramble with my thoughts today. Recently I’ve been thinking about finales and I don’t mean of your favourite TV show variety. Like the time you did something for the last time, did you know you would never do it again? I am the type of person that gets very nostalgic…

    Cool, calm, peaceful and relaxing… the instant effects of aquamarine. It’s a bit of an elusive colour and could be misconstrued as turquoise. I’m not sure if I hit the mark but I do love my selection. They are: TOP: Janish Jewel’s Faceted Aquamarine Ring. I really love big chunky rings and especially rough cut…
